Small, family-owned trucking firms should not have to bear the financial burden of the energy transition, according to transport experts who called on state and territory governments to help them put more electric trucks on the road.
The call comes as delivery firm Sendle launched a $160,000 pilot program to help small transport operators keep up with the move to electric trucks, and days after the Tasmanian government launched a $300,000 pool to invest in low-emission delivery vehicles.
